Remarks on photocopiers
Using a photocopier
The lifespan of a photocopier is directly linked to the number of copies that it makes. Photocopiers should therefore be used with moderation, by limiting waste (spoiled or unnecessary copies) and where possible by contracting out documents to be reproduced in large quantity (forms, training materials) to an external printing or photocopying service.
Selecting a photocopier
